Burnley set for Spicer

By Patrick Goss

Burnley look set to complete a move for Bournemouth's John Spicer - with only a fee for the midfielder yet to be agreed.

The former Arsenal man has reportedly agreed terms on a three-year deal and passed a medical.

Burnley boss Steve Cotterill has already snapped up Garreth O'Connor and Wade Elliott from The Cherries this summer, and now looks set to move for a third player, as he desperately looks to boost his threadbare squad.

Cotterill had urged the Clarets board to give him money to sign players after missing out on many of his transfer targets in the summer.

A work permit appeal is forthcoming as Luton Shelton tries to join up with the Championship side, and Manchester City youngster Karl Bermingham has joined on a month's loan.
